First Time Out!!
Ya everyone looks at me like a have 2 heads when I tell them how heavy it is lol. I've been eyeing up those braces and really considered removing them like you said but I haven't had the time. For now the power steering stays cause it is also partially a streetcar. Those things I might do next winter though. I thought about loosening the belt off a bit or taking it off all together but steering can become sketchy. I would really like a rack and pinion deal but that's way down the road.
